30 Days to a Clean and Organized House Paperback – May 14, 2014

All of the steps are broken down and it's easy to do. She listed things I hadn't even thought to clean! Usually with check lists for myself, I can't get them done. For some reason, I am motivated to make changes with this book! She focuses on one room at a time, plus the overall sweep of each room every day. I don't know what it is, however I find this book easy to use, easy to complete my tasks, and a quick, easy read. I am only on day 15 (half way through!) and I am seeing big changes in my home. Things I have not been motivated to take care of on my own (outside the front entryway... 20 years I have been avoiding it!) I am now motivated to do. My front entryway actually looks... clean. Nice. Not great, but as great as it can be!!! Maybe next 30 days (when I repeat the book) it will look better! Seriously. This book has magic to get you to get things done.

I had been lost about how to have a clean, comfortable house without constant, exhausting work. I discovered Katie's website, Housewifehowtos.com while searching for a solution to fruit flies. Her directions were easy to follow and 100% effective! I've been wanting this book for some time and am so glad I've finally bought it! Between her book, her website and her Facebook pages, I'm making progress and no longer feel alone and overwhelmed.Katie breaks things down in logical order and helps you to see how to do things so they work for you, which may not be like your mother, friend or acquaintance's method!The time frame is flexible to allow for how much time and energy you have, but all in an easy-to-follow, understandable order. And Katie is reachable via her website blog if I have any questions.Buy this book if you have any housecleaning-organizing issues! You won't be sorry. The author wrote it to help because she cares!

Recently displaced from corporate America I now find myself without a housekeeper and I'm as determined to get my house in order as I was as driven in my career. Biggest problem is that I felt so overwhelmed that I didn't know where to start.Thank goodness I found this book. I've read through it completely and don't honestly know that I will complete this task in 30 days. (6 years of living I a home with two working folks with a two hour daily commute has created a wreck). But I feel like I have the help I need now.Only on day one. My spice cabinet is clean and organized, most of the clothes are washed, the kitchen is clean, the living room is livable and best of all, I feel a sense of accomplishmentThe kindle links to the website and homemade cleaning products are great. The only down side, so far, is the lack of a table of contents, which to me is important.Would recommend this book for other domestically impaired folks

So easy to follow. Not overwhelming and no need to buy organizers. How many more useless organizers do we need anyway! Also love her homemade cleaning products. Easy to make and all I need. My home is always ready for a surprise guest now. I have told all friends and family of Katie Berry and this book. Cleaning for real people with lives to live. I no longer spend a whole day cleaning.In the book, because I am busy, I was on some of the days a couple days or more but never felt stressed or like a failure. You and your family will feel a difference from day one. My husband found it so easy…he now picks up and puts things in their place daily.

I do not typically buy books like this because I like to save money and keep a clutter free home. However, after a year of working outside of my home full time and homeschooling too, my home has become an overwhelming task. I didn't know where to start. I found this book on a web search for a cleaning schedule that would work for me. I loved the flow of the daily cleaning charts found on Katie's blog, and this book is available on kindle. (my daughter had one, so no extra clutter 😀) I thought I would give the book a try and was not disappointed! Such a great read and the way everything is broken down with such good detail and great humour I couldn't put it down. The kindle layout makes it nice and easy for your daily cleaning tasks too!!! This book should be in every home some of the tips and tricks would have been helpful even before I went to work full time. Every homeowner should have a copy. Thank you Katie Berry, this was like having a good friend over to help make things refreshing and fun! The printouts are nice too, I can simply hand them off to my teens to help out in their rooms, or other household spaces. Now it doesn't have to be just Mom. We can all work together to live in a happier healthier home. Just the encouragement I needed.

You would think that, as someone who works from home, I would have more time to clean and organize my house. Not so! I found that being here all of the time had made me "house blind." Plus, whenever a decision needed to be made about doing chores or working on the business, the business won every time.I tried another "home cleaning & organization system" and it just led me to feeling overwhelmed, guilty and inadequate. This 30 day plan is different. It's simple, straightforward, well organized and not the least bit gushy or preachy. It's practical enough that even my husband is on board.He and I split the tasks on the Daily Whole House Tidy Routine and we alternate rooms each day so there's no more excuses for "house blindness" as one of us always catches what the other may have missed the previous day. We divided and conquered the Daily Cleaning, Organizing and Maintenance tasks so neither of us had the chance to get overwhelmed (or lazy).The results have been fantastic. Although it may take us another 30 days to really get out ahead of things, we're really enjoying our freshly cleaned and organized home. No matter how comfy we get I don't think we'll ever give up the Daily Whole House Tidy Routine or the rest of the rest of the 30-Day Plan.
